The stock market is on track for a slightly higher opening this morning amid a relatively muted reaction to NVIDIA's (NVDA 196.88, +1.26, +0.6%) stellar earnings report.
Initial jobless claims for the week ending February 21 increased by 4,000 to 212,000 (Briefing.com consensus: 211,000). Continuing jobless claims for the week ending February 14 decreased by 31,000 to 1.833 million.
